This Harry Potter fan-fic created by me cronicles the events that unfolded between Tom Riddle and two of his fellow orphans in a cave during a trip to the countryside. The incident had been mentioned in a memory by Mrs. Cole to Professor Dumbledore during his visit to the orpanage in the novel “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince”. This is also the cave where Voldemort hid the Locket of Slytherin; one of his horcruxes.

Barely a week has gone by since the death of Lord Voldemort. Muggles were treated to a spectacle of owls by day and shooting stars by night. Wizards from far and wide were once again celebrating their freedom. Jim McGuffin, the muggle weatherman, was keen to notice that the same thing happened 15 years earlier when Voldemort first fell, although he never knew anything about it. He blamed man’s ill practices that have caused global warming and the change of the migratory behavior of birds.

Kingsley Shacklebolt was named the temporary Minister of Magic. He visited the muggle Prime Minister to inform him about Voldemort’s death. Upon hearing this news, the Prime Minister had asked the Minister of Magic to find a way to clear up the problems caused by this dark wizard in the muggle society as soon as possible. The Minister of Magic ordered the rounding up of the Dementors all over the country. Personnel from the Department of Magical Law enforcement were dispatched to place the confundus charm on some policemen and lead them to believe they discovered the hideout of a lunatic, who was the cause of the Brockdale Bridge collapse.

*****

Amy and Dennis Bishop were taking a stroll along Thames. What a nice evening to be spending outside and taking in fresh air. After months of the unnatural fog and mist, the weather was finally clearing up. Dennis was thinking ‘The bad weather has gone finally. All this global warming has really messed up the environment’ when he heard loud calls from the news stand…

“Read all about it. Cause of the Brockdale bridge collapse discovered. Madman Tom Marvolo Riddle said to be behind it”

Amy spun around. “Honey, did you hear that?” Dennis was pale. He had heard it alright. Could it be true? Was it the same Tom Riddle who had tormented them in their childhood? He had to find out. Dennis rushed over to the news stand and got a copy of The London Times.

On the cover was the picture of the Brockdale Bridge broken in two.
It was followed by the story:

~

The Brockdale Bridge connected the two banks of the River Thames. This structure unceremoniously snapped in two last July. The best minds in the field of architecture couldn’t find a cause for the destruction of this decade old bridge. Today the cause has been revealed. It was the work of a madman who calls himself Lord Voldemort.
